It started when they started including Amazon sponsored results in the menu search really. These days using apt occasionally will install a snap package instead of a deb. It doesn’t give people a good jumping on point and it teaches that linux is more difficult than it has to be.
It is a fork, meaning its like ubuntu but with the bullshit that makes ubuntu bad removed. It is completly safe but if you wanna stay clear of any trace of ubuntu at all there is also a debian based version of mint
I would recommend only community maintained distros at this point… seing as how RH and Canonical went to the dark side for some things, I’d rather not recommend something maintaned by a company.
Why is Ubuntu getting so much hate? it was a good entrance for many people into the Linux world

Ubuntu’s use of Snap made me go back to Arch.

Isn’t Linux mint an Ubuntu fork? That gets recommended to tons of people who seek an entrance into the Linux world. Is it as bad as Ubuntu?

Debian Mint is the way to go now for entry in Linux if you ask me.
LMDE and PopOS are my consistent recommendations to newcomers. If one doesn’t work, the other will.
